Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Industrialized agriculture is the direction of the future development of agriculture, which is developing towards the direction of scale, diversification, unmanned and integration. UAV, UGV and UAV-UGV collaboration is a hot topic in the field of intelligent agriculture multi-agent research. It has the characteristics of wide area coverage, high environmental adaptability, strong scalability, and better system redundancy. It can realize task collaboration and information sharing, and fundamentally improve the perception ability, execution ability and operation efficiency in the face of complex unstructured agricultural environment. Starting from the demand of agricultural production system for UAV, UGV and UAV-UGV collaboration, this paper firstly clarifies the structure of future industrialized agriculture and key scientific and technical issues. Secondly, it systematically sorts out the key technologies of agricultural UAV, UGV and UAV-UGV collaboration, especially focusing on the new requirements of future industrialized agricultural environment, the technical difficulties and innovative design brought by new technologies of UAV, UGV and UAV-UGV collaboration. Finally, based on the analysis of the challenges faced by UAV, UGV and UAV-UGV collaboration in future industrialized agriculture, the future development suggestions are put forward.
